"The story of the Harper Bride begins..."

Stella Rothchild has just lost her husband and moves to
Tennessee to start fresh with her young children. She
immediately happens across a management position at the In
the Garden nursery and becomes fast friends with the owner,
Roz Harper. Stella quickly falls in to the routine of the
business, but her strict management techniques put her at
odds with landscape designer Logan Kitridge.

In spite of their differences, Stella and Logan slowly
develop a new relationship. Just as things are reaching the
point of being serious, the resident ghost at Harper House,
where Stella and her children live with Roz, takes
exception to the growing romance, trying to circumvent
Logan and Stella's blooming love. Who is the ghost and why
does she hate their new relationship so much?

This first book in the new trilogy will appeal to die hard
fans of Nora Roberts. All of her trademark writing skills
are found in abundance. The relationship between Logan and
Stella develops slowly but steadily, drawing readers in and
making them hope for the requisite happy ending. Readers
will like the hint of romance to come for other characters
in the novel as well.

The addition of an unidentified, unhappy ghost, known only
as "the Harper bride," lends another facet to the story,
making one eager to find out who she is, why she haunts
Harper House, and why she hates the budding romance of
Stella and Logan. Many questions are left unanswered,
expected to be explained in more depth in the second and
final books of the series.

A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries- old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night...

Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennessee—and into her new life at Harper House and In the Garden nursery. She isn't intimidated by the house—nor its mistress, local legend Roz Harper. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable new place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing nursery. As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and with expectant mother Hayley. And she discovers a fierce attraction with ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge.

But someone isn't happy about the budding romance...the Harper Bride. As the women dig into the history of Harper House, they discover that grief and rage have kept the Bride's spirit alive long past her death. And now, she will do anything to destroy the passion that Logan and Stella share...
